    Hello! Tell us a bit about yourself

    I’m 38 years old, I have two daughters and I work as a freelance graphic designer in the Paris area.

    In 2005, I graduated from the Institut Supérieur des Arts Appliqués (LISAA) in Rennes and began working immediately after completing my studies.

    Initially, I worked for a design studio, followed by a newspaper, and eventually, I secured a position as an illustrator for real estate developers.

    The graphic designer Mathieu has 17 years of experience, including 13 years as a freelancer

    Since moving to Paris about eight years ago to settle down with my partner, I’ve specialised in working with local authorities and communities, such as the town hall, the community of communes, and other administrative authorities.

    Prior to my relocation, I lived in Brittany.

    To this day, I continue to collaborate with small and medium-sized organisations to meet their visual design needs.

    Mathieu has always had a strong love for drawing. It’s likely what guided him to pursue a career in the visual arts, he says

    In addition to my work as a graphic designer, I also set aside time for drawing.

    Sometimes it’s for specific projects (like greeting cards), while other times, it’s just for pleasure (such as drawing vacation souvenirs).

    As for my passion, without hesitation, I would say it’s video games.

    I devote a lot of my free time to playing them (both old and new), and enjoy exploring all sorts of games.

    I’ve been working on a Mac for a little over 12 years.

    I quickly switched to two monitors and have always had an enormous desk.

    I love having space and being able to make a mess.

    However, I can’t start a work day if it’s not tidy. So I have my little cleaning routine every morning or so.

    During the day, I’m at my desk almost all the time. When I’m not working there, I’m on the Internet or playing video games.

    Mathieu’s design workspace setup reflects his love for drawing, playing video games, and reading

    I’ve carefully crafted this space to suit my preferences and provide the utmost comfort.

    It took me a long time to find the perfect desk, though.

    I wanted it to be huge, plain, and white with a wooden top.

    I knew exactly what I wanted and eventually found it on one Spanish website.
